The beloved news personality shared an update. Keep reading to find out how he’s doing now.
Fox News Viewers Notice Something Off About Sean Hannity
Millions of viewers tune in to Sean Hannity’s Fox News show. But they noticed something was off with the host earlier this month. He looked different and sounded different. Some viewers even worried that he had a stroke or other health crisis.
Sean Hannity was eventually forced to reveal what was going on with his health after other news outlets began to ask questions. He revealed on social media that a sinus infection led to laryngitis. His doctor wanted to put him on prednisone, but he refused.
But he ended up on the medication after a different health issue. Prednisone is a commonly used medicine to treat all kinds of issues, including asthma, allergic reactions, and lupus. One of the most common side effects is weight gain, particularly in the face. Sean Hannity revealed that he had to go on the medicine after suffering a pinched nerve in his neck.
Viewers noticed his face was puffy and his voice was raspy from the laryngitis. “I appreciate all the concern and well wishes — including from members of the left-wing media. Sorry to disappoint them, but a pinched nerve, a raspy voice, and a puffy face aren’t taking me out anytime soon,” he wrote on Twitter about the headlines regarding his health issues.
He Shares Update After Health Scare
Sean Hannity’s job involves a lot of talking. His voice issues from laryngitis forced him to take a step back from his radio show. On Monday, June 22, he asked Lynda McLaughlin if his voice sounded better and if she was glad it was back. She said she was.
However, his voice wasn’t as fully recovered as he thought. Sean Hannity missed several days of his radio show. Guest hosts filled in during his absence. After missing the shows on June 24, 25, and 26, the Fox News host shared a huge health update.
“TODAY 6/29/26: SEAN IS BACK,” the radio show promoted. After missing several days, Sean Hannity returned to his radio show on June 29. The guests included legal analyst Gregg Jarrett to discuss the latest Supreme Court rulings. Bryan Stern and Mark Halperin were also guests on the radio show.
Sean Hannity’s return to his radio show is a huge indication that his health issues have been resolved. Share your thoughts in the comments.
